I have been noticing high CPU utilization 120-160 %, and mem usage of 1.47 gb and more when load this specific page: http://finance.yahoo.com/mb/OPK/

I would imagine this happens on any of the yahoo finance message boards for any stock. I have reset firefox, installed the latest release version and now beta version. Running Mac OS X 10.9.4 with 32 gb ram

Yea, I did all that first. Then I isolated the condition to when this page is loaded.

Here are some screen shots of the Mem and CPU. I only changed one thing and that was loading this page on Yahoo. http://finance.yahoo.com/mb/OPK/ Please try it yourself. Something on this page causes it. Not saying its a bug in Firefox, but perhaps it may be or there may be something that can be done to prevent the app from eventually locking up.
